Wells selectmen approve warrants, licenses, appointments and budget items; amend fire engine price
Summary
At its Oct. 21 meeting the Wells Board of Selectmen approved warrants totaling about $3.0 million, granted two liquor licenses, accepted donations, amended a fire-engine purchase price downward by $60,000, approved a corrective quitclaim deed and appointed two alternates to boards after executive session.
The Wells Board of Selectmen moved through routine municipal business during its Oct. 21 meeting, approving warrants, several licenses and appointments and addressing a handful of administrative corrections.
The board voted to approve and sign an accounts payable warrant dated Oct. 21 for $2,951,892.15, an advanced check warrant (Oct. 15) for $59,141.79 and a general assistance warrant for $725.78. Motions to accept the warrants were moved, seconded and approved unanimously on the record.
During the meeting the board closed public hearings and granted full-time beer, wine and spirits liquor licenses to Chef Miriam LLC (doing business as Sea Salt Pie Company), 231 Post Road, and to Seacoast Pizza and Pasta, 901 Post Road. Both license approvals were moved, seconded and carried by the board.
The board approved a corrective municipal quitclaim deed to correct a 2006 release and to release the lien on the listed property. Separately, staff identified an error in the previously approved purchase authorization for a Pierce Class A pumper fire engine. The board voted to amend its prior approval to reflect a revised purchase price of $1,306,882, a reduction from the previously listed $1,366,882.
Donations accepted included $25 from Ernest Nassau and $500 from the Wells Branch Fire Association for a fuel assistance program, plus multiple donations to Founders Park; the board voted to accept the gifts and send letters of thanks. The board also approved amended minutes for Oct. 7 and moved to adjourn following an executive session during which it appointed Joshua Carruthers as a planning-board alternate and Kevin Mahler as a conservation-commission alternate.
Several of these items were described by staff as routine or administrative; the board recorded unanimous votes on the listed motions during the meeting.
